LIVE VS | Trump works on plan to temporarily ban diesel exports, energy prices to go down
The US government is considering a 90-day ban on diesel exports to lower energy prices amid rising costs driven by the war with Iran and Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries. While some Republican officials and cabinet members like Chris Wright, Scott Bessent, and Doug Burgum oppose the measure, sources indicate President Trump leans toward implementing it despite internal divisions. In other developments, at least six major US hospitals have agreed to stop providing gender-affirming care for youth, and Trump’s popularity has dropped to its lowest point in his political career. Additionally, Trump met personally with Venezuelan leader Delcy Rodríguez for the first time during the UN summit in New York. Meanwhile, his new 24/7 livestream channel 'Trump TV' has attracted significantly fewer viewers than expected, prompting major networks including CBS, ABC, NBC, and Fox to boycott White House coverage in solidarity with excluded media outlets.
